Toy Box and its connection to KH4
I am sure I am late to the preverbal party, but while rewatching the story of Toy Box connections were made. And now, it makes way too much sense.
I've often thought that the worlds of KH3 have much more to say than meets the eye. A lot is said in subtext and details. But, it seems Toy Box is more than most. The more I've looked at it, the more I am convinced that Toy Box is full of foreshadowing of future events. I think that even if my conclusions are wrong, Toy Box is meant in this way and whatever happens we'll look back and see them. Just how everything is, indicates this reading.
I'm going to lay everything out though, and put my initial thoughts here. I'm sure there will be more in time as well.
"The Heartless- the darkness- can only creep in when our hearts falter. Trust me. You'll be fine if you don't lose heart."
This was really got me thinking. Toy Box has themes of separation, losing heart and darkness. What is exactly going on with KH4? Well one thing is certainly separation. Sora is separated from the rest of his friends, with no clear hope that he'll ever see them again.
Then, we have Yozora. Who exactly is Yozora? We don't know, yet like others the story seems to indicate that it is actually Sora, if the storyteller is being fairly overt. Could be a red herring of course, it happens. But let's go with that for now. How could that even happen? I'd assume from Toy Box, it tells us how: possession. It is from those lines above.
"You'll be fine if you don't lose heart."
So then, does Sora lose heart? If Yozora is Sora, then what Yozora says "save Sora" makes roundabout sense. We're talking about KH here, and it isn't like this hasn't happen before. It seems like the storytellers, MO as well, honestly. That's my sense of him.
What's interesting is, when you look at the rest of the story of Toy Box, the story gives not only foreshadowing, but also hope. It gives us the antidote to what could be Sora's future. In the scene that is by far one of my favorite scenes in all of KH3 and the rest of KH Sora says this:
"Distance doesn't matter. Andy's part of their hearts, just like my friends are part of mine. You can't rip that apart!"
The question is, will Sora remember? Or will he "lose heart" just like Buzz did? And even then, if someone is truly bent on possessing him, would that even matter? And just how much is Toy Box foreshadowing the future?
"If we follow our hearts, we'll find him again."
Woody was talking about Andy, but I can't help but think of Sora now and his friends, especially Riku as he follows his own heart to search for Sora.
There is always hope.
"Xehanort, you're so caught up in finding the shadows, you forgot about the light that cast them."

Sora subtly compliments Riku's Appearance
So let me get this right...
He never looked this good, he said and you know who looks like Yozora— Riku.
Goofy and Donald even compare him to Yozora's appearance in a way — this is the English version so the Japanese version probably has it more
They both have silverish hair, similar hair style, dark short-sleeved jacket, gloves/armor, simple looking shirt, caprees with a similar pattern, and boots.
Riku has more of a blue color scheme while Yozora has a darker grey color scheme.
He also have two different color eyes, and Riku's eyes.... (Well they change ever game) this time is more of a greenish blue.
It's kinda annoying when people call Yozora Riku, like they look different enough and he has a whole red eye over here. It's like calling Ven Roxas or vice versa.
